Worked for one boss, he had been a feller both in Australia and then back here. He'd been there and done that, knew how hard people worked by walking around the sites and looking at what and how things had been done. If you worked hard he would pay lovely bonuses and would back you to hell and back if you had upset anyone just by doing what had been asked of you. He loved it when the managers went back and told what they thought was wrong or what could be improved. Never did it in front of us, but would take a trip with the manager to the work site and ask them to show him what they meant. Most had never run a saw and were managers only in name (more public relations than man/job managers) and spent most of the time smooth talking and keeping land owners/customers happy. Saw him crease up with laughter one day, we were on break (later than set time due to wanting to finish a block before bait time). Him and a newish manager walked up to site and new bloke stuck his finger on the exhaust of a saw, not near it, but fully onto it. Impressive noise he made but not much sympathy went his direction. I enjoyed every minute working for him and really appreciated the faith he had in us. Very fair boss and paid well for work done well.

I watch it twice, once to re-live felling, then a second time to appreciate the scenery

Hello wet northerners and southern sunbathers

I guess the 500

I was the sulky one sat looking out the window trying to figure out why time at school always went slower than time in the outside world

Afternoon register filled 😁

Even the boss of the thread has given up on getting here on time 😀 I might have to start getting here early, gets crowded later on

Not sure I'd want to visit if it was Rubus Cockburnianus gap

Good man, someone else who ignores the AM

Bloody eastern europeans, Putin is paying them more than I do, they're all hacking the royal websites rather than signing me in here. Still, if I creep in here quietly and sit down at the back maybe no one will notice how late I am

😛

When we were felling all the time, I changed filters and plugs at least once a year and if the fitter came out to any of the machines I'd get him to check it over while he was around (he'd change things if he had replacements in the van).

Twice in a row before midday, I must be ill. Mornings are not all that 😉

Not at all sir. Now fruit picking has finished around here there are plenty of tech savvy eastern europeans willing to hack in and sign me in for a small consideration (8p), they undercut you Mr Tait, sorry. Bank manager will be so proud, a penny saved. 😉

Hello clock watchers.

Feller was worried any hikers would stumble over the stump in the dark

Not allowed to string them up . Put them in jail with a release date of when any replacement tree reaches same dimensions as the one felled 🙂

Shame he didn't know when to use it, little tw*t
